I just loved this cake…Girly, pretty, and designed by the birthday girl herself (she has great taste)! The theme was “lilies” and her color scheme was shades of pink and white. Here’s what I came up with…

The most challenging part of this cake was hand-making the sugar lilies. Sugar flowers are so beautiful but they do require a lot of work and patience! This was so much fun for me to go back and brush up on some old skills I haven’t used in a while. I always like a challenge and I love learning, so it was a very rewarding experience once the flowers were finished and I was able to place them on the cake.

This was a special 21st birthday cake that Kathy’s mother, Elaine, ordered for her. She wanted the cake to be elegant but still a little whimsical and fun for a 21st birthday. The color scheme was based on some beautiful damask patterned decorations Elaine was using for the party. She spent a lot of time planning and preparing to make it a special surprise for her daughter. I was so happy to bring her cake “vision” to life! The flavors were vanilla bean cake with peanut butter buttercream, chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and buttercream, and vanilla bean cake with strawberry buttercream. Yum!

This cake was for a surprise 50th birthday. LeeAnn’s friend, Michelle ordered the cake for her. Michelle requested a clean, simple, elegant cake using silver and soft pink colors as accents. I love making sugar roses so I was happy to accommodate that request as well :)
